I was at his private range when he said it was it's last chance. Best I recall he got almost 2 mags to feed when it started acting up again.
Mags stopped feeding, light primer strikes and Trigger not resetting...... etc.
He had tried early on to get Chiappa to service it but was told he had to work that out with the dealer he bought it from.
I heard him take a deep breath, tensed up, unloaded it and broke it to pieces against a cinder block wall.....
Small parts went in the trash can, the bent up barrel and parts of the receiver were tossed in to the truck bed.
All he said as we drove back up to the house was "My time is worth something".
I see him often and make a point of never saying anything 'Chiappa' around him.
